There has been a lot going on the last several days when I was otherwise engaged. I am only now beginning to catch up with things such as the fires that continue to burn in Arizona and New Mexico. I expect that I'll have some reflections on these fires in a couple of days, so stay tuned.
A friend wrote me last week about a fire in the Pine Barrens that I'll write about in a day or so. The fire seemed to have been started by lightening, and was about 130 acres or so when it was contained.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
